Sharepoint Server And Finder - 0 Byte Files when using webdav

I am unable to write to a sharepoint site using webdav, I can on the other hand create directories just fine. Also I can write to the sharepoint site if I use the command line or other software such as mUcommander.

I have seen this issue previously but no one has come up with a solution. I would like to be able to save directly to the sharepoint site.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

I can confirm this behaviour within our company and would like to see a solution for this.

I have the same problem. In another post I read something about the authentication medtod being used. Can I change the way of authentication using the webdav settings from a mac?

Can you direct me to that post? I do not believe it has to do with authentication since the webdav is actually mounted and if you use command line or a file manager such as muCommander, it works just fine. This is not a solution though, we need this to work from within finder, as any application that relies on finder to save the files to the sharepoint site will also fail.

Not checked any logging yet. Where can I do this for webdav connections?

I was googling around and read something about authorization issues using finder but I can't seem to find it anymore 😟

I did find the following:

Has anyone tested the same webdav connection to Sharepoint from a Linux (i.e. Ubuntu) machine?

Just open Console while logged in with an admin account and select "All Messages" from the sidebar, make a connection to Sharepoint and see what happens.
